10 Candy lemon PeeIs.

Boil the peels until very tender. but
not at all broken, changing the water
till it no longer tastes salt. They gen.
orally take from two to three hours to
become tender. Strain the water from
them when you are sure they are done.
Lemon peels have the popularity Of
hardening in syrup, unless they are
quite tender when put in it.
You can candy the peels in large
pieces like citron which is really the
proper way, although it may be conven-
lent sometimes to have them ready for
use. If you decide to candy them whole,
lay the peels in preserving kettle; pour
over them as many pints of water a.
will just cover them; add pound Of
graduated sugar to each pint; let it boil
up, then put the kettle where the peelf
will simmer till they are clear; you may
then let the syrup boil fast till there II
very little left. They require watching
at this stage, for they will easily burn
You may lift each piece out and lay it
Oh dish on which granulated sugar
has been sprinkled, and, covering them
thickly with sugar, put them in cool
oven till dry; or you may do what is
after all less trouble, and produce much
handsomer results. This is after they
have boiled till clear in the syrup. to lay
each piece on an oiled dish; let them
get cool while you boil a pound or TWO
of sugar (according to the number OF
peels you have) with gill of water to
the pound. till it chairs, then dip each
piece of peel into the candy and lay it
on an oiled dish to dry.
If you prefer convenience to effect,
you can cut the peels, when they are
boiled tender, into chips, ready for use.
To do this, cut them into strips an inch
wide; pile three or four, one on the
other, and cut into little thin strips
about as wide as a match.
Make a syrup of pound of sugar TO
each pint of water; throw in the chips.
Boil them slowly till clear, then faster
till nearly all moisture has eVaporated.
then stir in cupful more of sugar and
put them where they can get dry, but
cannot burn. When there is no longer
any moisture, spread them thinly on
sleeves and put them in a cool oven OF
over the register, to dry. If you have
no sieves. spread them on tins thickly
sprinkled with sugar, and stir them up
from time to time. When cold pack
away in glass jars for use.
When the peels are cut small it is bet
ter not to candy too many in one kettle.
as they are apt to dry in masses instead
of separate. Catherine OnceH. in Good
Housekeeping, HOLyoke, Mass.

The Lawrence Journal advocates the
publication of all school books used in
the state by the state printer Fort Scott
Monitor.
The state printer made tender to the
legislature to print the school books for
the state for 80 per cent less than we are
now paying. Hon. A. T. Sharpe, Of Otta-
wa, made 9 similar offer, ana he can give
any bond required to guarantee fulnll-
ment of contract. Fifty PEP cent to the
farmers and poor people OF the state is
worth saving. The school book monopoly
is the most outrageous and the most
shameless fraud and monopoly now in
existence. Ii plumbers and Tobs II the
sacred name OF education. No railroad
pool that ever existed equals the iniquity
of the school book pool in the enOrmitY of

A Generous Lad.

Last Sunday young clergyman from
young congregation preached, by ex-
change, to congregation which is one
of the serene. old-fashioned, undisturbed
sort, where everything theological
passes placidly from one year to an
other, and where the rising generation's
undoubted human nature is allowed for
in a quiet, sensible way. The visiting
clergyman remained to the Sunday
school, and after the exercises were
about halt finished he rose to make .
little speech.
81 know that you are an enterprising
Sunday school," he said, because see
so many new books. / know that you
are happy Sunday school, because see
SO many smiling faces around me- And
know that you are a generous Sunday
school, because that little boy over there
by the long pew door offered me a pea
nut as came IN" The attention of
the assembly was instantly directed to
the little boy, Who began to smoker I'M
controllably to himself.
''Well, what's the matter, my little
mani" asked the clergyman. you're
not sorry you offered me the peanut

Ibid you th-think that was a peanut

snickering violently.

RaIIoonfng in Paris

Some curious balIooning experiments
were made by NJ. Goddard recently in
the old courtyard of the Tuileries. Two
balloons, one flied with hot air and the
other with bicarbonated gas, were sent
up. In one. the ':Dynamiteuse des
Airs" NJ Goddard sat himself, while in
the car of the other, called the "Nou-
veausMonde." three young acronauts
were seated, who made the crowd of
gazers shudder by their boldness in
performing climbing feats as they rose
in the air. Before the ascent of the
larger balloons. n. Goddard released
about forty smaller ones, called ''bal-
loons-poste." They can be used for the
postal service in time of war. Some of
them. indeed, had been used during the
last siege of Paris for the Transmission
Of letters and dispatches beyond the
Prussian lines.

The Coyote and His Haunrs.

A picture of the great plains is in
complete without coyote or two, hur-
rying furtively through the distance.
The coyote is a VIOLA wolf about
two-thirds the size of that one which
haunts forests and the pages of story
books. He has long, lean body; legs
trifie short. but sinewy and active;
head more foxy than wolfish, for the
nose is long and pointed. the yellow
eyes are set in spectacle frames of black
eyelids. and the hanging. tan-trimmed
ears may be erected, giving we'll
merited air of alertness to their wearer;
tail-straight as pointer's-also fox
like, for it is bushy beyond the ordi-
nary lupine type. and a shaggy. large
named. wind-ruffled, dust gathering
coat Of dingy-white, suffused with tawny
brown, or often decidedly brindled:
"a shade In the stubbIe. ghost by the wall,
Now leaping, now hmping, now risking
fall;
Top-eared and large-Jointed, but ever Away
A thoroughly vagabond outcast in grey
Such is the coyote-genus loci of the
plains; an Ismaelite of the desert; a con-
sort of rattlesnake and vulture; the
tyrant Of his interiors; jaekal to the
puma; . bushwhacker upon the TANKS
of the buffalo armies; the pariah of his
own race, and despised by mankind.
Withal, he maintains himself and his
tribe increases; he outstrips animals
deeter than himself; he foils those of far
greater strength: he excels all his rivals
in cunning and intelligence; he fur
ishes to the Indian not only breed of
domestic dogs, but in many canine
races ranks as earliest progenitor; he
becomes the center of myths, and final
ly is apotheosized.
Our coyote is true Westerner and
typifes the independence, the unre-
strained gayety and brisk zeal which
enters into the heart of him who sights
the Rocky Mountains. He is little
known at present eastward of real
bunch-grass plains In early days,
however, he was common enough in the
open country of Arkansas, Missouri,
Illinois and northward, whence he
received the name ''prairIe-wolf,
Threading the passes. he wanders
among the foothills of all the complI-
Gated mountain system that forms the
'.crest. of the continent" and dwells
plentifully in Californian valleys. -

AT the morning services held In ST..
James Methodist Episcopal church, Phil
apelphia, on Sunday last, Rev. William
IL Gilbert, the pastor, frankly told his
congregation that he had ceased to be-
lieve In the Inspiration OF the Bible, that
he did not know anything about immor-
tAlity or whether there was a God, and
that as he was no longer in sympathy
with Christian doctrine they had better
get somebody else TO preach for them.
